SUMMARY:||: Girls :||: Chance :||: Music :||
DESCRIPTION:Four highly-gifted teens collab and collide one pivotal summer at a prestigious Berkeley girls’ music program. They improvise and crack wise atop a steadily thrumming undercurrent of disaster and emergency. This world premiere play with music comes from A.C.T.-commissioned playwright Eisa Davis\, the singular writer-musician-actor whose keen ear for the language and inner lives of adolescent women brought us the Pulitzer finalist Bulrusher. At turns hilarious and melancholy\, raucous and poetic\, ||: Girls :||: Chance :||: Music :|| is an exquisite and achingly true story of friendship\, self-discovery\, and the salvation of art-making. \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Flex
DESCRIPTION:In a forgotten town in rural Arkansas\, a high school girls basketball team fights its way toward an impossible dream: a state championship. As rivalries flare and personal struggles threaten to tear them apart\, the players discover that winning takes more than talent. It takes trust\, sisterhood and the courage to believe in one another. Written by acclaimed playwright Candrice Jones\, one of the most exciting new voices in American theatre\, this raw\, electric new play explores resilience\, identity\, and the power of a team to rise together. \n\n“Critic’s Pick! A slam-dunk New York debut! Candrice Jones excels equally in sly humor and in the swift-tongued rhythms of teenage and athletic talk.”The New York Times \n“The whooping\, sighing\, applause and interactions of the audience make clear how sharply the play hits home.”The Daily Beast \nMore Info / Tickets

SUMMARY:Hair\, Paper\, Water . . .
DESCRIPTION:Cao Thị Hậu and her family live in Vietnam\, surrounded by rolling green hills enveloped in mist. Here she sits with her grandchildren tending to their pains and spinning stories of the cave in Quảng Bình where she was born. Folk tales\, bees\, tigers\, and home remedies all braid themselves into her fables and the wisdom she imparts. As a storyteller and one of the few remaining indigenous Rục people\, Hậu is the keeper of memories and knowledge. She is the steward of a fast-disappearing language\, and it is her duty to fill the lives of her descendants with her words as she prepares to answer that last call from the faraway cave. Using Bolex cameras and a lush sound design\, filmmakers Nicolas Graux and Trương Minh Quý deliver a visual treat along with an invitation to enter Hậu’s extraordinary world. \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:The Son and the Sea
DESCRIPTION:British writer/director Stroma Cairns makes a resonant feature debut with this coming-of-age drama focused on a young man trying to find his place in the world. The film is a family affair\, as Cairns collaborated on the screenplay with her mother\, Imogen West\, and cast as the tempestuous protagonist her brother\, Jonah West. In his first film role\, he impresses as Jonah\, who is determined to sort himself but unsure of what that means as he travels from London to Scotland’s Aberdeenshire\, his mate Lee (Stanley Brock) in tow. The two make a new friend in deaf Charlie (Connor Tompkins)\, who is dealing with his own issues. Ruben Woodin Dechamps’s glorious cinematography captures the wild beauty of the Scottish coast as the roiling sea reflects Jonah’s emotional state as he grapples with the uncertainty in his life and what it means to be a man. \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Salvation
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the Berlinale’s Silver Bear\, Emin Alper’s (Frenzy) electrifying drama of power struggles in a Turkish mountain village exposes the chaos that erupts when territorialism takes root. In the unnamed community\, two tribes clash over land and the right to harvest it. Mesut\, haunted by troubling dreams he believes are prophetic\, stakes his claim as the new sheikh. As his power grab fans inflammatory rhetoric\, he becomes the figure rallying those who long for revenge. Alper’s assured filmmaking blurs dreams and reality\, while a tremendous ensemble cast conveys both vulnerability and menace. With striking visual flair\, Salvation illuminates how fear\, suspicion\, and strongman rhetoric create circumstances where no one is safe . . . or saved. \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Amílcar
DESCRIPTION:Agricultural engineer Amílcar Cabral (1924–1973) dreamed of freedom for Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde in West Africa and set about making that liberation happen. In this impressionistic documentary\, the life of this remarkable revolutionary unfolds through letters Cabral wrote to his wives\, set to a soundtrack of slogans and dreams. Shot in 16mm\, the film tells a tale of love\, political idealism\, and betrayal as Cabral’s guerrilla war against Portuguese rule ultimately led to freedom he would not live to see. \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Bouchra
DESCRIPTION:Set between New York\, Rabat\, and Casablanca\, in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals and suspended between realism\, autobiography\, and fiction\, this artwork\, the culmination of a long creative process\, blends documentary and 3D animation languages. The film follows Bouchra\, a thirty-five-year-old Moroccan jackal and filmmaker living in New York\, as she writes an autobiographical film exploring how her queerness has impacted her mother\, Aicha\, a cardiologist jackal living in Casablanca. The story blends fiction—Bouchra’s film within the film—with an adaptation of recorded nonfiction conversations between Meriem Bennani and her mother. \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Days and Nights in the Forest
DESCRIPTION:Four young men leave Calcutta for a few days in the country\, trailing their westernized careerist attitudes\, a middle-class indifference to the lower orders\, and a self-satisfaction that leaves them closed to experience. Out of a series of delightfully funny mishaps as they eagerly try to pursue acquaintance with their two promisingly attractive neighbors\, Satyajit Ray gradually distills a magical world of absolute stasis: a shimmering summer’s day\, a tranquil forest clearing\, the two women strolling in a shady avenue\, wistful yearnings as love and the need for love echo plangently. Beautifully shot and acted\, it’s probably Ray’s masterpiece. \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:The Holy Mountain
DESCRIPTION:A trip in itself\, The Holy Mountain chronicles one man’s search for enlightenment through a dizzying array of surreal set pieces. Inspired by René Daumal’s novel Mount Analogue\, as well as Alejandro Jodorowsky’s own spiritual studies and psychedelic experiences\, the film’s deeply sacrilegious and antimilitaristic imagery remains as beautiful and intriguing today as when it first scandalized audiences at the Cannes Film Festival in 1973. Unseen for decades due to a dispute with the producer\, Jodorowsky’s perceptually destabilizing alchemical puzzle has only been illuminating cinema screens once again since 2007. \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:The Lunchbox
DESCRIPTION:Rediscover the profound power of human connection in The Lunchbox — a new musical adaptation of Ritesh Batra’s internationally acclaimed film that overflows with heart\, humor\, and hope. A mistaken delivery in Mumbai’s famously efficient lunchbox system connects a lonely housewife to a jaded office worker\, setting off an exchange of handwritten notes. Tucked in the folds of fragrant chapatis\, amidst the vibrant pulse of Mumbai\, their words blossom into a connection that might save them both. Directed by Tony Award-winner Rachel Chavkin (Hadestown) and featuring a sweeping and intimate score by Daniel and Patrick Lazour\, The Lunchbox is a tale of the beauty of small gestures — one that will leave you believing in the bravery of opening your heart to the unexpected. \nInfo & Tickets
